Venus Williams and Tomas Berdych Go Naked for ESPN's Body Issue

In the revealing pic, Williams, 34, shows off her ultra-fit figure and signature booty as she stands on the sand.

"It didn't dawn on me until right when I walked on set that I would have to be without clothes," the five-time Wimbledon champ tells the mag of her nude shoot. "If I would have thought about it before, there may have been a little less of a chance."

Venus, who was forced to stop playing for more than six months in 2011-12 due to illness, also reveals how she was able to work her way back up the rankings.

"Because of Sjogren's syndrome, I have to be careful," she explains. "If I train too hard, then I won't be able to do anything the next day. There would be times when I'd park my car at home and I fell asleep behind the wheel because I was so tired. It's a balance between pushing myself as much as I can and being reasonable about what I can achieve and what my body will tolerate."

As for Berdych's sexy shot, the 28-year-old flaunts his buff bare butt and Speedo tan lines, while holding a tennis racket under his arm.

HOT, HOT, HOT!

ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue is on newsstands July 11. A complete list of athletes to be featured in this year's edition will be announced Wednesday on ESPN.com.

Pic looks good but I can't help but think it's been manipulated. Her legs/thighs are not this long and thin irl. She is known for her buff legs (or then again maybe not. I might be confusing her with Serena)
